Looks good! stop smoking, at least in your car.

+1

I am probably going to do the same thing on the vic, unless I go with the wheel murph has, with the cruise control kit.

Thanks for the compliments. I still might redo it but it'll be some time because it takes forever and hurts your hands some. I know about the smoking... but you gotta love the vent windows and mega ashtray. It's pretty much always been a smoker car since we got it and I've wiped every panel inside/out and shampoo regularly so it theres no dinge, stain, or smoky odor.

I remember going over mine with black shoe polish when it was new or nearly new, just to get some of the waxes into the leather. Not good for light-colored pants, though ... maybe neutral polish would have been a better choice.

Lexol would work well, but I have this stuff called Blackfire I'll probably use since I already have it and it works well. There's a cleaner and then a protectant which doesn't smell or leave a greasy shiny residue. From what I know and have seen, Lexol is pretty much the best stuff for leather.

It is, and I have used it since detailing cars in '92. However I have some Zymol stuff now. Really good stuff.

Zymol leather treatment?

Zymol leather treatment?

Yep. It's the only thing that would improve the Mark VIII's leather, especially the leather on the steering wheel.
